Inactive [A] Slow laptop

[RinEx10]

Sorry to post this kind of thread since this is always being asked but I'm really desperate here.

problem -> high cpu usage when opening any application ( chrome, windows explorer, etc).

tried the following:
spybot
malwarebytes
avg scan
ccleaner
defrag
turning off useless start-up services
uninstalling programs

please help.. Thanks in advance to any replay!

Thanks for the quick response. the first step says "antivirus scanning" but then it also says that neither a scan nor a log is required. should I skip to step 2 since I have an undated AVG or run a whole scan of my laptop?

Please don't quote my reply as it creates unnecessary clutter.

Update AVG run full scan and then proceed with next step.
I don't need AVG log.
